There is nothing I love more than a crazy busy week. Not.
I loathe busy weeks because it means that I have to give up on certain expectations I keep. Like having a clean house. That's usually the first thing to go. Next, would be the laundry. Want something to wear? Go pull it out of the hamper then. *shrugs*
Currently, my children are walking around in wrinkly clothes in a house that no visitors are allowed in. What can I say, something has to give when you're a busy mom.
I mentioned a pet peeve of mine on my Facebook page the other day and it got me thinking. Do I really have that many things in life that irritate me? The short answer is yes, yes I do. In fact, it turns out that I'm quite easily annoyed. This isn't good people.
I'm pondering the big questions in life today.
Do my kids really need to give Valentines to everyone in their class?
Yesterday, I asked them if they were going to be giving out Valentines this year (you know, just in case I had some last minute shopping to do) and I received a resounding no from both of them. In fact, they both seemed thoroughly turned off by it.
"Why?" I asked.
